I didn't think so , he had no effect on the result apart from not booking their keeper early on for time wasting.No, but he was a huge part of it.

Time wasting is part and parcel of the modern game unfortunately.We do it as well.We can’t have it both ways.Thought he was ok generally but the time wasting thing fucking infuriates me. You can’t pick and choose which rules to apply. Maybe next time we just get rid of corners?
I wish they would as we are shit and those and don’t start me on throw insThought he was ok generally but the time wasting thing fucking infuriates me. You can’t pick and choose which rules to apply. Maybe next time we just get rid of corners?
Someone qualified said it is up to the referee to set the “tolerance”. Crazy really as it’s difficult to come up with a game plan if the rules are fluid.Thought he was ok generally but the time wasting thing fucking infuriates me.

Largely agree aside from the fact the Derby players repeatedly ignored his warnings and he just let it slide. Eventually booked one of their players for time wasting during a throw in.Let the game flow (where it could…) and wasn’t strict at all; this didn’t help our cause and played into Derbys hands.
He wasn’t petty and he was pretty consistent. Other than the offside goal which I doubt he could have seen, one of the better ones this season imo.
Not giving a second booking / red for persistent time wasting is just so wrong. It would stop pretty quickly.People say book the keeper it’s just a waste of effort as they are never going to give him a second one and he knows it so goes even slower, the punishment should be a direct free kick on the edge of the box and you put it where you want.

Time wasting and slow tippy tappy sideways backwards football that all teams play these days has ruined by enjoyment of a game I have loved for 50 years.
Modern football is not worth spending hard earned cash on anymore
TBH I’m also getting to the point where I find modern football quite boring. I don’t bother watching internationals or Prem football any more. I’m sick of the international breaks interrupting the flow of the season. I’m sick of Man, City both allegedly cheating financially and then whinging about their injuries - the answer don’t agree to the ever expanding competition formats then.As soon as people say “tippy tappy” I know I’m about to read a “BACK IN MY DAY” kind of post that is just general bollocks.
that the 2nd?
MVE was targetted constantly with the goalie ball down their left wing in the second half, hardly got near their player

I’m not a back in my day merchant.A lot of things are better these days but football is not one of themAs soon as people say “tippy tappy” I know I’m about to read a “BACK IN MY DAY” kind of post that is just general bollocks.
The 1970s were largely hoofball played on shite pitchesI’m not a back in my day merchant.A lot of things are better these days but football is not one of them

Champions League - what a misnomer. If should be renamed the Also Rans League.
You could hardly accuse George Best of hoof ball. Or Ian Gibson come to that.Certain parts of this I understand; too many international breaks, financial cheating, changing of competition formats in an attempt to increase revenue are all annoying.
However, I like to watch football where the team can pass to each other rather than hoof the ball over the defence and all run after it.
Half of liking it more in the past is pure nostalgia, harking back to a time where you had more energy to enjoy it!

Less touch than the one that floored EMCBurnley just had a goal disallowed for the very slightest of touches.Terrible decision.
